With EMC PowerPath/VE, you can standardize path management across heterogeneous physical and virtual environments and automate and optimize virtual server, storage, and path utilization in a dynamic virtual environment.

Earlier this week we had a little contest around the office – that is, who could get in and get their vSphere4 VTSP accomplished the quickest. The VMware Technical Sales Professional Program (VTSP) provides foundational technical knowledge for pre-sales engineering individuals to certify them to successfully architect, engage, and participate in a VMware solutions sales cycle. For VMware partners, the VTSP is a pre-requisite that must be completed before you can obtain Technical Pre-Sales Competency Accreditations.
The first stop for eGroup as part of our four-city vSphere 4 Roadshow drew a record crowd and was a huge success. Hosted at the Cisco office in Charleston, attendees enjoyed a live demo of vSphere 4 by eGroup’s expert engineers Will Turbeville and Travis Baird. Coastal SC account rep Mike Stokes discussed new features + licensing, among other hot topics, followed by Tighe Kuykendall of Cisco demonstrating the Nexus 1000 switch. Read more >>
